Joyful Mysteries
Second Joyful Mystery
Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth
In those days Mary set out for the mountain and reached in haste to a town of Judah. Entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb. Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and exclaimed with a loud voice: "Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb is it that the mother of my Lord should come to me? Behold, when the voice of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leapt for joy in my womb. And blessed is she who believed in the words of the Lord. "
Oh Mary! We see that you climb the mountains of Judea, in a hurry, you're greeted Elizabeth and six remained at his service before three months. Hot, then your charity in seeking the grace, shining in your body off your virginity and humility in service. In fact, if anyone who humbles himself will be high, what's the most sublime of your humility? Elizabeth is surprised when you arrive and say: How is it that the mother of my Lord should come to me? Much more should be amazed by the fact that you, O Mary, anticipating what later would tell your son: "I have come to be served but to serve".
(San Bernardo, Aquaeductu in the Sermon on the feast of the Nativity of Our Lady)
